🦞🍻 A heartfelt farewell to Rylan, pictured here in the center enjoying a well-deserved beer after his final shift with us.

From day one, he was as dependable as they come, always showing up with a smile and a can-do attitude.

The West Coast is lucky to have him! 🌊 As he sets off on his next adventure. Rylan, thank you for being not just an invaluable part of our team, but a wonderful friend.

Here's to you and all the amazing things ahead! Cheers! 🥂🎓
